Machine tending layouts
Request CAD when gripper, tool changer or zero point position affects robot reach, machine envelope or fixture access.
Review gripping modulesTechnical Center / CAD Library
Request CAD, drawings and datasheets with project details.
CAD requests should include more than a file name. This guide explains what GRANITY needs before confirming CAD, drawings or datasheets for gripping, automation and workholding projects.
When To Use This Guide
Use CAD requests when layout decisions depend on product fit.
For early layouts, robot cell reviews, fixture concepts and quotation work, GRANITY uses product and application details to confirm the right product family and document type without relying on assumptions.
End-of-arm tooling
Share robot model, payload target, utility needs and workpiece geometry before selecting automation interfaces.
Review automation modules
Fixture and workholding review
Use CAD and datasheet requests to confirm locating, clamping and setup-change context for workholding families.
Review workholding modulesRequest Checklist
A clear CAD request produces a faster engineering response.
Use the steps below before asking for STEP, IGES, 2D drawings, datasheets or application review.
01Product family
Gripping, automation or workholding.
02Target model
Model, series or comparable product if known.
03File type
STEP, IGES, 2D drawing, datasheet or manual.
04Application
Machine, robot, workpiece and process context.
05Next step
CAD support, engineering clarification or RFQ.
Information to include in a CAD request
- Product family and target series or model if available.
- Required file type: STEP, IGES, 2D drawing, datasheet or manual.
- Robot, machine, fixture or line context.
- Workpiece material, geometry and handling orientation when relevant.
- Expected quantity, timeline and country if the request supports a quotation.
